Joss Whedon continues the Slayer's story in new comic book series.

Buffy the Vampire Slayer is making a comeback. Not in the form of a new TV show or a feature film, but as a comic book. Written by series creator Joss Whedon, with art by Georges Jeanty (American Way), Buffy: Season 8 picks up after the end of the TV series, with Sunnydale destroyed and Buffy in charge on an army of slayers. Of course, the good times never last for Buffy. In the first four-issue story arc, an old menace will resurface, though details on who this might be remain guarded.

Comics Continuum reports the series will launch in March. Jo Chen provides the cover for the first issue.
